RL Disciplinary: Larroyer accepts two-match ban as Castleford Tigers team-mate Monaghan gets the green light

Castleford Tigers second-row Kevin Larroyer has been suspended for two matches for a 'squirrel-grip- tackle on Vincent Duport, of Catalans Dragons.

The former Hull Kingston Rovers and Catalans Dragons second rower was charged with a grade C offence of “other contrary behaviour” after grabbing his opponent between the legs to complete a tackle during the Tigers’ win over the French club in Perpignan on Saturday.

Larroyer, who was sin-binned for the offence, avoided a disciplinary hearing after submitting an early-guilty plea and will miss Castleford’s opening two matches of the Super 8s, the fixtures for which are scheduled to be announced on Wednesday morning.

Castleford winger Joel Monaghan, meanwhile, is free to play in the next phase of the competition after admitting a grade A dangerous tackle in the same game.
